Bug#173976: openoffice.org: setup fails

[Jeff Bisbee <debianbugs@jbisbee.com>]

Package: openoffice.org
Version: 1.0.1-7
Severity: grave
Tags: sid
Justification: renders package unusable

When I try to run openoffice for the first time it breaks (on both my
work and home systems)

    jbisbee@popo:~$ openoffice 
    OpenOffice.org for Debian - see
    /usr/share/doc/openoffice.org/README.Debian.gz
    running openoffice.org setup...
    /usr/bin/openoffice: line 148: 24752 Aborted
    /usr/lib/openoffice/program/setup -R:/etc/openoffice/autoresponse.conf
    setup failed.. abort
    ---- Please read /usr/share/doc/openoffice.org/README.Debian.gz for
    known problems -----

The command that is breaking is:

    /usr/lib/openoffice/program/setup -R:/etc/openoffice/autoresponse.conf

When I try to execute that command by itself I get:

    jbisbee@popo:~$ /usr/lib/openoffice/program/setup 
	-R:/etc/openoffice/autoresponse.conf
    Aborted

I've read /usr/share/doc/openoffice.org/README.Debian.gz and have tried
the suggestions.
